Intra Company Transfer

Are you a professional being sent to South Africa by your foreign employer to work in a local operation, or an employer who requires skills that you cannot find locally? Explore the Intra-Company Transfer Work Visa, offering a seamless pathway for an expat assignment in the Rainbow Nation.

South Africa is home to the headquarters of many international brands, and hosts regional offices for a substantial number of foreign companies. Did you know that according to Bizcommunity, in Q3 2023 South Africa was home to more than 75% of all top global companies in Africa? With this in mind, the Intra-Company Transfer Work Visa is ideal for individuals employed by a foreign affiliate, branch, or subsidiary of a local entity, who are being seconded to South Africa for up to 4 years. With a focus on the person’s experience within the organisation, this visa allows for the completion of assignments based on prior work history.

Key Features:

  • Available for assignments up to 4 years
  • Employee remains employed with the foreign company
  • Requires at least 6 months of employment with the foreign entity before secondment
  • Affiliation between foreign and local entities may need to be proven
